Tasting notes
The Cabernet Sauvignon from the Winery Franschhoek Cellar is a symbol of longevity. It recalls the legacy of the original Huguenot families, which continues to live on in the cemetery of the town of Franschhoek.
On the nose, the dry and robust wine shows aromas of blackcurrant and cherry, followed by concentrated dark berries. These are rounded off with gentle aromas of tobacco and spices.
The Cabernet Sauvignon from Winery Franschhoek Cellar offers a rich mouthfeel and a smooth and long-lasting finish.
Grape Variety
Chenin Blanc is a widely cultivated, old white wine grape variety that has been grown in France (in Anjou – Touraine) since the 9th century. Compared to other white wine grape varieties, this variety is very productive. This leads to a very high quality of the white wine when reduced on the vine.
In South Africa, Chenin Blanc is the most widely grown white wine grape variety. The reason for this is primarily the very high diversity. For example, there are "wild-growing" vines (so-called Bush Vines) that are usually not irrigated. For this reason, the vines penetrate very deep into the ground with their roots to reach water. These Chenin Blancs therefore have a stronger depth and complexity.
The grape variety can also be aged very fresh and fruity in stainless steel tanks, developing into a very nice summer wine. Through the Aged in oak barrels, one obtains very complex and full-bodied white wines. The aromas of Chenin Blanc wines range from peach, apricot, and tropical fruits to honey and melon.
